BlueNotary connects customers with certified notaries for remote online notarization at any time. Users upload documents, meet a notary in a live video session, then download the notarized documents. Business accounts can create sessions, invite signers and witnesses, reuse templates, customize customer emails, and save contacts. Its REST API and webhooks support session creation, document uploads, participant invitations, status tracking, and retrieval of completed documents. Integrations can include branded portals and custom workflows; white-label setup requires a custom business email domain. BlueNotary says it verifies signers through knowledge-based authentication, government ID profiling, and biometric scanning. It states that it is MISMO accredited and SOC 2 certified, with annual third-party audits. Its integrations page says recordings, audit logs, and documents are kept for 10 years, and documents are encrypted with X509 PKI. BlueNotary supports RON, eSignature, and hybrid eClosings, but not eNote creation, eVaulting, or MERS eRegistry integration. A free plan is available; Pro Hybrid costs 27.00 USD per month.
